Fit more in the frame with our best ever selfie cam
At a club with friends. Bored at work. Posing with your pet dog. There’s always time for a selfie, or a
groupie. With the Xperia™ C3 Dual, you can capture your best poses by double tapping the back cover or
using the smile detection, then easily share with friends. The 5 MP wide-angle front camera (25mm with
80 degree field of view) gets more into the frame, whether it’s everyone in a holiday groupie, or you in that
new outfit. Furthermore, with the unique LED flash in the front you can capture flattering selfies either day
or night!
The Xperia™ C3 Dual comes preloaded with Xperia™ camera apps to make your selfies even better. Use
the AR Effect to add real-time fun graphics and animations, like masks, horror faces and comic laser light
to your selfies. With the new Portrait retouch feature, you can choose from 10 different beauty styles,
which include four natural looks for guys, and retouch portraits of two people. Then use the amazing realtime effects to transform your look with the options including real-time makeover, magic beam for eye
reflection changes, and Deco frame.
Enjoy Sony camera expertise
Created with Cyber-shot’s leading camera expertise, the Xperia™ C3 Dual has an impressive 8 MP
camera that features an Exmor RS™ for mobile image sensor, allowing you to take exceptional pictures
even in challenging lighting conditions. And HDR for photos and video means you can shoot beautiful
photos, even when the subject is backlit. And thanks to SteadyShot™, all of them will come out smooth
and distortion-free. With Superior Auto mode that automatically activates HDR and noise reduction when
needed, you can just relax and let the camera do all the work instead of focusing on settings. And don’t
forget the powerful 5 MP front camera is also equipped with an auto scene recognition function, working
together with the LET flash for you to capture best selfies and enjoy great video chat any time any where!
Superior Auto – on both main and front cameras
From illuminated night views to backlight selfies, Superior Auto recognises four scene types on the
Xperia™ C3 Dual’s front camera and up to 36 scenes by the main camera and adjusts the settings
automatically, to help you get the best photos anywhere, in any light. As the default camera mode,
Superior Auto turns HDR on or off depending on your scene. HDR mode takes multiple shots with varied
exposures and then merges them together to make your photos look natural – even in backlit conditions.
Portrait retouch v.2– style your close-ups
Make your subjects more photogenic than ever before. This fun app features real-time makeover, Deco
frame options and magic eye beam effect. With the new Portrait retouch feature, you can choose from 10
different beauty styles, which include four natural looks for guys, and retouch portraits of two people.

AR Effect – a different angle to your photos and videos
Switch your camera to AR Effect mode and enjoy the new sound effects while adding fun animations to
your photos, videos and selfies. Ranging from dinosaurs to ocean-life. These fully customisable themes
can be easily edited, so make your dinosaurs roar when you touch them or if there are too many fish in the
sea, just remove a few.
